Pydev improvements

Well, I'm in the midst of trying to make a new build for pydev, but I think I will only be able to get it out next week, anyway, I just wanted to share some things with you, since I believe many improvements are in the way...

Code completion keeps getting better... sure, there are some improvements to do, but even not being perfect, it is almost reaching the place I wanted when I started it (sure... now that I'm in the middle of it, I can see many other things, but that's the natural order of things right??)

Some 'sweet' improvements have been added... a little code formatter for commas and parentesis is on the way (Ctrl+Shift+F), as is a formatter for the global imports (Ctrl+Shift+O - also used for sorting any selected text).

PyLint integration is always getting better too (now it does not block the interface when running)... and I've been getting a great support from Sylvain from logilab too!! (It has been very handy for doing changes in my code and getting things in order... I belive some people call that SW quality control ;-) )

Content assistant just got nicer (Icons make a lot of diference)!

Scott Schleiser also got me a patch to the editor preferences for the colors... also, much better then it was before...

Well, that's it... latest news straight from the 'bakery'!!!

Hope you all enjoy it when it comes out... hope I can get some time to do it next week!...
